Más allá de los combustibles fósiles: Transición fiscal en México

This report examines the role of the hydrocarbon sector in Mexico's energy transition, analyzing fiscal contributions from the extraction and consumption of fossil fuels and identifying opportunities to accelerate the shift toward renewable energy and energy efficiency.

• Mexico has experienced a decline in revenue from fossil fuel extraction in recent years, while revenue from fossil fuel consumption has become more significant. The report suggests conducting a cost-benefit analysis of continuing fossil fuel extraction and consumption versus alternatives like renewables to optimize fiscal resources and meet social and climate development goals.
• The report recommends increasing the allocation of resources toward energy efficiency and the transition to renewables to support sustainable development and wellbeing objectives. Additionally, it suggests improving transparency regarding fiscal revenues from coal and the hydrocarbon sector.
• Regarding subsidies, the document advises against generalized subsidies, describing them as a regressive policy that benefits groups with the least need and creates a high opportunity cost. Meanwhile, the administration of Andrés Manuel López Obrador aims to strengthen the hydrocarbon sector and increase oil extraction and national gasoline production for energy security, which presents economic, social, and environmental challenges for the energy transition.
